(Book cover) Title: The Reluctant Wife Author: L. Steele Narrated in duet by: Shane East & Ava Lucas

(Book review) 🩵🎧 DUET NARRATION 🎧🩵 >Balm to Their Souls< I love the palpable tension between Aurelia "Aura," Princess of Verenza, and Ryot Davenport from the onset. Oh, the things I was hoping would happen in that alley. I'd say I'm ashamed, but I'd be lying. 😘 -- Book quote 'She is the antidote to my past. She is the reason I’m alive.' -- Ryot Davenport While the twist wasn't a surprise, I love that we got to see Ryot and understand his first marriage better. We also got to see him try to deny his attraction while she pushed his boundaries. I found it entertaining. So, back to the twist. I won't give anything away, but seriously, people? Ugh. Some people are such idiots! That said, there was a smaller twist that I didn't expect. I liked Aura most of the time, but she did get a bit too whiny, especially towards the end. I can understand some of the internal conflict, but I wasn't keen on how she handled it. I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrators are the growly Shane East and sweet and sassy Ava Lucas. Being in duet narration means their characters maintain the same level of energy and voice throughout. I say it every time. I love duet narration! I also love these narrators and their accents. 🩷🎧🩷 Story: 4 stars Narration: 4.5 stars Listening Speed: 1.8x
